It is scam of cource.
NEVER CONTACT with a scam, it is extremelly dangerous. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY AND/OR COPY OF YOUR PASSPORT or any other ID. Read carefully in main page an article about "Dangers from 419 Nigerian Scams". Also when you post any mail post it with sender's name and e-mail address, hiding only your's for your privacy. I just edited this post hidding your email address to protect your privacy.
